Campani applied it to the microscope, whence it is sometimes called {Campani's eyepiece}.

{Positive eyepiece}, an eyepiece consisting of two plano-convex lenses placed with their curved surfaces toward each other, and separated by a distance somewhat less than the focal distance of the one nearest eye, the image of the object viewed being beyond both lenses; -- called also, from the name of the inventor, {Ramsden's eyepiece}.
